Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) is a Solana memecoin whose concept was literally suggested by an AI. The Truth Terminal AI bot mentioned the idea of a "Fartcoin" where users could claim tokens by submitting their best fart jokes. Someone created the actual token, and it went on to reach a $2.5 billion market cap.

AI Origin

Fartcoin's origin is directly connected to Truth Terminal, the same AI bot that promoted Goatseus Maximus ($GOAT). Truth Terminal mentioned the idea of creating a "Fartcoin" where users could claim tokens by "submitting their best fart jokes or memes."

An anonymous developer took this AI suggestion seriously and launched the actual token on Pump.fun on October 18, 2024 - just 8 days after GOAT's legendary launch.

"The idea for Fartcoin was thought up by an AI chatbot and executed by an unidentified person who used Pump.fun to launch the memecoin on Solana."
— Fortune Magazine

Unique Mechanics

Fartcoin features a unique "Gas Fee" system where each transaction produces a digital fart sound. This playful mechanic adds entertainment value to what would otherwise be standard token transfers.

  • Claim mechanism: Users submit fart jokes/memes to claim initial tokens
  • Gas Fee: Each transaction triggers a digital fart sound
  • Pure entertainment: No utility beyond humor and speculation

Meteoric Rise

Fartcoin's price history is one of the most dramatic in memecoin history:

  • October 18, 2024: Launches with $1.2 million market cap
  • January 19, 2025: Reaches ATH of $2.52 (~$2.5 billion market cap)
  • Growth: 10,000x increase in less than 3 months
At its peak: Fartcoin briefly became the second-largest memecoin on Solana, surpassing established tokens like Bonk.

Volatility

Like all memecoins, Fartcoin has experienced extreme volatility:

  • January 2025 peak: $2.5 billion market cap
  • Post-TRUMP crash: TRUMP token launch caused market rotation
  • March 2025 low: Dropped to ~$200 million (90%+ decline)
  • Recovery: Subsequently recovered 389% from lows

The token's volatility was exacerbated by broader crypto market events, including the LIBRA scandal and President Trump's trade war announcements.
